Returning what was lost

"Didn't you have anything quieter?! You scared her half to death!!" Shook screamed loud enough to be heard over a crying orange.

"Back off 'im shook" Cyto said, moving away from the wall. "Scared is better than dead". At this Shook seamed to calm a little, and he walked over and cradled and rocked orange until she calmed down.

"The hell has gotten into him lately?" Tem asked Cyto.

"Buddy, i couldn't tell you" he said, as he began leading them down the passage.

A diamond dog lieutenant walked sluggishly down a hall, he hated giving bad reports. The last lieutenant gave one, the day he died, his body was still in the room, it was just yesterday. The lieutenant slowly pushed the door open, a massive red and gold thing, and bowed his head and stared at the ground immediately, the king was above them all, and his guards always watching

"What is it" a voice called, aggravated and un-amused. "You are interrupting my pleasant mood"

"Im sorry sir, but I bring bad news" the dog managed to squeeze out. The kings eyes narrowed "WHAT?!"

"THE LITTLE ONE WE CAPTURED, SHE GOT AWAY" he pleaded She managed to get in between the bars of her cell and... made it to the gate" the king had gotten up, his feathers ruffled. he was a diamond dog, but a very unique one. He stood above the rest, about 5 feet tall, and his skin was layered and red as a rose, and he possessed wings dark as a crows. In the middle of his skull sat two horns, the front one being larger and arching forward in a jagged line, he was a dragon half breed. He smiled, crooked teeth showing, as he murmured "Good...a hunt" under his breath he had been looking forward to using the gate, he needed an excuse to...expand..his kingdom, which now numbered in the thousands.

"Get a team together !" he yelled at the whelp " Invade and bring back a slave"

"YES SIR!" the dog yelped, his voice cracking as he ran from the room.

A crooked smile spread upon the kings face, before he yelled "The kingdom of Soprahn expands today!"

"All hail Soprahn!" his guards called in unison.

"Is this it?" Cyto complained, they had reached a dead end, but at the end was a large piece of pitch black stone, that reflected light as though it were a mirror.

"Yes, i came from that" Orange said, pointing at the obsidian.

"Oh....Of course...Nothing can make sense" Shook said

Tem had begun to froth at the mouth, cackling like a hyena the way only his race can. "What's near us!" Cyto asked as soon as he saw Tem doing that. That was what he did whenever he  smelled a battle.

"The dog smell from earlier! Oh how i want to eat one!" he cackled, and he wasn't bluffing. Gnoll's can eat almost anything that was once alive: shell, organ, and bone.

He was right, as dogs began to pour out of little holes near the roof, but still on the wall. They were about the size of goblins, and they had weapons like that of humans, which meant the either could work a forge, or were good at stealing from something that could. They continued to pour out, surrounding the company 16 to one, orange included. finally, the largest of them stepped out of the crystal, he was about 5 feet tall, but of scrawny build, but had a head looking like it belonged to a gnoll it was so massive. It screeched "Kill and return the slave!" and the little things rushed the group

       "Realy?" Cyto asked as he simply stepped on one, reducing it to a pile of broken bones and blood with a satisfying 'crunch'. The others kept coming at him, though and their little weapons did little against his heavy armor,some even getting caught and cut in the razors . He laughed at them, and picked one up with one hand and watched it try and swing at his snout.

"Is this the best you got?" he said before crushing it in his hand "Tem! Eat as many as you like!" he yelled before launching the carcass at the leader, almost breaking him in half as it made contact. "Puny, fragile things" he said, as he started rampaging

Tem was having a field day! His chain whipping hither and tither in his dance of mayhem and blood lust , covered in blood and little limbs that were caught in the blades. At the top of his lungs he shouted " louder! I want your families to know of the slaughter! i want to drink your children's tears!" all the while.

Shook was being surprisingly tame, restraining them on thorn branches. When his were all caught, he ducked behind his cloak and told orange "Block your eyes and ears" and she did, just before the sound of flesh ripping and blood splattering filled the room

  The leader was still alive, though he was paralyzed, and watched in horror, as his troops were literally ripped limb from bloody limb. His head was so big because of an augmentation his king gave him, a telepathic link that allowed his master to see though his eyes, and the king was shocked
